In the New York Times article “Carmakers Forge Ahead With Electric Vehicles,” Bill Vlasic illustrates the changing global economy for workers and consumers in regards to major automaker’s new lineups of electric vehicles. In this article, Vlasic draws attention to the efforts by auto manufacturers like Tesla, Chevrolet, Nissan, Volkswagen, and many more, to bring the electric car from the future into your garage. Vlasic discusses in January of 2016 where auto manufacturers stole the spotlight…

General Motors Company is a great example of “doing well while doing good”. GMC is on the fast track for ensuring that electric cars will soon be more affordable for everyone. The new Chevy Bolt EV can actually drive an estimated 238 miles using just electric travel on a single charge (GM Sustainability Report. Retrieved from http://www.gmsustainability.com/act/products/products3.html). Using vehicles such as these will do wonders for the environment and our economy. Without having to pay for…

challenges. Global competition 2015 was a good year for car sales in the US. Likely due to reasonable gas prices, sales overall increased quite a bit. The American big two (Ford and General Motors) still owned the lion’s share of the market (Phillips, 2016.) But they weren’t the big gainers here: Nissan Motor Co. had a whopping 19 percent jump from December 2014 levels, and Toyota and Honda saw 11 percent and…

Authors: Wayne Tsang Abstract—Electric vehicle (EV) have obtain a positive response from the people due to the environmental-friendly factors. However, Electric vehicle powered has not yet being commercially because of power efficient, reliability and also high production cost. I. LITERATURE REVIEW: Electric Vehicles are zero emissions and higher energy efficiency much environmental friendly than the conventional petrol and diesel vehicle.

brought forth a proposal to ban the sale of all internal combustion vehicles by the year 2030. This is a major arrangement concerning the world as an entirety. If this would to pass through the legislation, then Germany would be looking towards an electric future and virtually no carbon monoxide emissions. This would not only cause the decrease in the carbon footprint but a major hit to the oil industries and even the car companies. Germany wouldn’t be the only country to implement this law. It…

Tesla Model S is regarded as an “evolution in automobile engineering” (Teslamotors.com, 2015). With its dual motor feature at the front and rear wheels (see Figure 2 above) resulting in “unparalleled traction control in all conditions”, Tesla Model S is a definite enhancement on a usual conventional four-wheel drive system. (Teslamotors.com, 2015) Every individual Model S is constructed to be lighter, smaller and more efficient to provide both faster acceleration and improve range, enabling the…

future of our environment. (i.e. it runs on clean energy). The only type of emissions that could be considered would be from the charging of the battery from electric grids. However in Quebec this is 99% clean energy from Hydro-Quebec, hence reducing emissions significantly. Another advantage, would be considering the savings of owning an electric car. The initial cost of such automobile is expensive, however the cost of charging the vehicle…
